Vaginal seeding of babies born by C-section
Inclusion criteria for patients in the clinical study • Scheduled C-section (maternal choice, previous C-section or malposition presentation) • Healthy mothers with healthy pregnancy • Negative for HIV, Group B Streptococcus (GBS), active primary herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and other STDs, bacterial vaginosis • Vaginal pH ≤ 4.5 at time of delivery
